Godzilla Minus One 2023

★★★★★

Watched 30 Nov 2023

Two films now in 2023 have dared to examine the fallout and societal implications of WWII’s nuclear exclamation point:

1.  A hard-hitting social drama chronicling years in the life of a man broken and haunted by his own failure to prevent the darkness and devastation that enveloped the world following the introduction of the atomic bomb and the inadvertent opening of a door to an endless plague of hopelessness and destruction set upon future generations; a film which truly encapsulates the sheer power, abject terror, and subsequent futility that humankind was forced to face in the wake of its own unimaginable creation; a story told through the eyes of determined engineers, scientists, and soldiers gathered in the name of national pride to nobly save their culture and civilization as they knew it from the raw, monstrous horrors to which they had borne witness; and an ambiguous resolution to the inevitable humanist clash between blind optimism and bleak reality.

2.  Oppenheimer.

Personally, I kinda prefer the one with the giant fire-breathing sea lizard that eats battleships and levels cities.
